DonBest.com offered its Stanley Cup 2011 picks with the Boston Bruins vs. Vancouver Canucks facing off in Game 1.
From DonBest.com:
The Canucks seemingly have the upper hand, as is demonstrated by the fact that they are minus 225 favorites to hoist the Cup coming into this series. And why not? After all, they were the President's Trophy winners this year, the honor that goes to the team with the most points in the regular season, and they also have home ice advantage in this series.
That's absolutely huge for a team that is 34-11-6 including the postseason at Rogers Arena this season.
The Bruins have also won 75 percent of their last 16 games overall and are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. the Western Conference.
These teams have only met three times since December of 2006, and the road team has won all three tussles.
We are taking Boston in Game 1 to cover.
Boston is the +175 underdog in Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup.
